Pimm's No 1, Michael, and The Mummy in the Lobby Bar! 4/20/2026

In this lively episode of *Drink the Movies*, hosts Brian and Michaela return to the Lobby Bar for a spring-themed cocktail celebration centered around the classic Pimm's Cup. They reflect on the drink’s origins in England and its unexpected appeal beyond summer, despite its refreshing, fruity profile. The duo revisits their early episode covering *American Hustle* and reimagines the Pimm's Cup with a modern twist: the Pimm's Coupe, a mezcal-based sour that blends Pimm's No. 1, lemon juice, simple syrup, and a smoky mezcal backbone. They explore variations, including a slushie version using an ice shaver, and encourage listeners to experiment with their own Pimm's creations. The conversation shifts to current box office releases, including *The Mummy* by Lee Cronin, which debuted at $13.5 million, and the highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic starring Coleman Domingo, with mixed expectations due to lack of early reviews. They also highlight the upcoming *Stranger Things: Tales from 1985*, an anthology series set between seasons two and three, which has already captivated their kids. The episode closes with a call to Patreon for exclusive bonus content, including a deep dive into *The Bride* and a live hangout with fans.
